The Russellville Police Department arrested a woman in the 300 block of East C Street at 5:35 p.m. on Wednesday after officers responded to a call of a physical disturbance.

Sherry Ritcheson, 34, is accused of attacking a person with a knife before officers intervened and stopped the attack. Police said Ritcheson then attempted to use the knife on herself, according to a statement provided by RPD Public Information Officer Drew Latch.

Officers then used "an electronic device to prevent Ritcheson from harming herself or others,"

Ritcheson was arrested and transported to Pope County Detention Center where she was booked for first-degree aggravated assault.
